I've always liked the Wegner knives and the small Walker models and so, I remade the Lum ...

Close-up of the blade ...

Front-side ...

This now compares favorably to the Delica and in fact, you can tell that this is one of my regular carries. I have several Lums and yesterday I pulled this out of my pocket and thought that I could make some changes. No disrespect for the Chinese Lum, it's a great knife. My grinding could have been better and I intend on fixing it. You can see a chamfer along the top edge of the blade that follows the original grinding of the blade left at the "top corner". Anyway, open for comments ...
Is there anybody who knows the tricks to setting the liner lock on this model? I had to take it apart to clean it up and did not want to disassemble it too often because of the aluminum scales being threaded to hold the knife together. I figure one of the reassemblies will result in a screw just slightly off and a quick half-turn will be all it takes to ruin the knife. I put it together twice and never quite got the trick. I adjusted once and the liner lock would not engage. The second time, the liner lock travels to the other scale and is too loose. Any pointers is appreciated! Does the pivot on the female side rotate in the aluminum scale to make changes in tightness?
Thanks,
Jeff
